> Resúmenes de Never-Ending Summer
To stop Lu Xixiao's stepmother, Guo Yan, from selling his late mother's house, Zhou Wan and Lu Xixiao team up to stage a spooky prank. While Guo Yan is showing a prospective buyer, Mr. Li, around the property, the electricity suddenly cuts out, though the fish tank lights remain on. Suddenly, the eerie sound of clicking high heels and echoing piano music drifts down from upstairs. Terrified by the noises in an supposedly empty house, the buyer is thoroughly spooked.
On his way out, he panics upon seeing fresh, blood-red handprints smeared on the wall and flees the scene. Once the house is empty, Zhou Wan and Lu Xixiao meet up, delighted by the success of their plan. Zhou Wan was responsible for the noises upstairs, while Lu Xixiao painted the handprints. While looking around, Zhou Wan admires the beautiful paintings in the studio, and Lu Xixiao proudly claims they are his work.
However, when she mentions also seeing paintings in the second-floor room and notices that one of the four seems to be missing, Lu Xixiao's demeanor shifts instantly. Angered by her intrusion into his late mother's private room, he coldly demands to know who let her in and orders her to leave. Zhou Wan's estranged biological mother, Guo Yan, soon discovers that Zhou Wan helped Lu Xixiao disrupt the house viewing.
She meets Zhou Wan at a local tea house, coldly accusing her of breaking their agreement to stay away from Lu Xixiao in exchange for her grandmother's medical bills being paid. Zhou Wan defends that they are merely friends, but Guo Yan remains skeptical. When the topic of the university entrance exam arises, Zhou Wan explains she had to miss it because her grandmother suffered a sudden heart attack triggered by uremia. Guo Yan dismisses it as unfortunate fate.
When Zhou Wan brings up her late father's insurance money, expecting some of it to go to her grandmother, Guo Yan falsely claims the policy was marital property and solely in her own name. Desperate to keep her grandmother's treatment funded, Zhou Wan promises to treat the financial help as a loan, but Guo Yan forces her to block Lu Xixiao on her phone right then and there. At the Lu residence, family tensions rise.
While Lu Xixiao's grandfather supports him, his father demands he attend the Lanyue Group's 40th-anniversary family banquet to apologize to a business partner's son. Seizing the opportunity, Lu Xixiao agrees on one condition: his mother's house must not be sold. His father complies, claiming he never actually intended to sell it anyway. Back at home, Zhou Wan is sorting through her father's old documents when she stumbles upon the actual insurance contract.
To her shock, she sees that she was designated as the sole primary beneficiary, meaning Guo Yan lied to steal her inheritance and abandoned her family to live in luxury. Consumed by a desire for revenge, Zhou Wan sees news about the upcoming Lanyue Group banquet and realizes Guo Yan will definitely be there. This event is her only chance to confront her mother and secure the funds needed to save her grandmother.
Zhou Wan seeks advice from a friend on how to mend her relationship with Lu Xixiao. Her friend suggests swallowing her pride and acting pitiful. Together, they visit the repair shop where Lu Xixiao is working to deliver some seafood noodles. Though Lu Xixiao acts indifferent, his friends see through his tough exterior and tease him about how much he secretly cares for her.
Later, Zhou Wan visits her grandmother in the hospital, where her classmate Jiang Yan brings university brochures from Pingchuan City to help her explore her options since she missed the gaokao, gently reminding her that her life is her own choice. Determined to get back in Lu Xixiao's good graces, Zhou Wan corners him at the local arcade. She takes responsibility for deleting him, admitting she was wrong.
Lu Xixiao's defenses crumble, and he apologizes as well, admitting he shouldn't have lost his temper. He agrees that their history of saving a fish and playing ghosts together is too meaningful to throw away, and he adds her back on WeChat. Zhou Wan then asks for a favor, mentioning how much she loves the Phonograph Band, who are scheduled to perform at his family's banquet, and asks if she can attend.
Lu Xixiao readily agrees, telling her to come early and reassuring her that she doesn't need to worry about formal wear. While happy, Zhou Wan is plagued by guilt, silently hoping he won't hate her when he eventually discovers she is using him to get close to Guo Yan. Before the big night, Jiang Yan celebrates his birthday, first with his mother and then with his father, Mr. Lu.
Although Mr. Lu presents him with a customized fountain pen and promises future financial support, Jiang Yan firmly rejects the gifts. He politely points out that they are not a real family and never will be, declaring he will no longer accept anything from the Lu family. Later, Jiang Yan meets Zhou Wan on a rooftop to celebrate his birthday with a small cake.
For his birthday wishes, he prays for her grandmother's recovery and asks Zhou Wan to accompany him to an art exhibition next Tuesday. Although it falls on the same night as the Lanyue banquet, she accepts, confident she can manage both. For his final wish, he selflessly hands it over to Zhou Wan. Staring into the night sky, Zhou Wan silently wishes for the success of her upcoming plan to confront Guo Yan.
